<p>AlberthaHause1: </p> <hr /> <div>&lt;br&gt;While the S&amp;P 500 has piled on more than 17 percent so far this year, the small-cap Russell 2000 has risen a scant 0.4 percent&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A famous aphorism holds that a &quot;rising tide lifts all boats,&quot; but small capitalization equities are still waiting for a boost from the 2024 bull market on Wall Street.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;While the S&amp;P 500, which is comprised of larger companies, has piled on more than 17 percent so far this year, the small-cap Russell 2000 has risen a scant 0.4 percent.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Market watchers point to lofty US interest rates -- at 22-year [https://pixabay.com/images/search/highs%20--/ highs --] as one factor behind the yawning gulf in fortunes, given that smaller companies typically borrow more than larger peers because they are less profitable.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Smaller equities &quot;tend to get hurt more by the higher rates,&quot; said Sam Burns, chief strategist at Mill Street Research.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;I think it's causing a big divergence in earnings, which then shows up in the relative returns.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But that dynamic also means that small cap equities could be poised to prosper if the Federal Reserve pulls the trigger and cuts interest rates soon.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A Fed interest rate cut in September could be the &quot;first catalyst&quot; for small caps to take off, said Art Hogan of B. Riley Wealth Management.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If that happens, &quot;small caps can likely catch a bid in anticipation of the Fed cutting for the first time because, it tends to start a pattern of more cuts and lower interest rates,&quot; Hogan said.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Futures markets currently project two interest rate cuts in 2024, one in September, the other in December.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;- Slowing economy? -&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But not all market watchers attribute small caps' underperformance to high interest rates.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;It's more about what the economy is doing,&quot; said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners, who describes conditions as &quot;soft.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;It's not even really tied to interest rates, because the companies certainly aren't going to borrow for expansion,&quot; she said.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;CFRA Research's Sam Stovall considers high interest rates a reason for the initial lagging performance of small cap stocks.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But the stocks &quot;did not tend to skyrocket shortly thereafter because of concern of an economic slowdown,&quot; he said.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Burns notes that a disproportionate share of the market's advance in 2024 has been enjoyed by large technology companies leading the [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/search.html?sel=site&amp;searchPhrase=generative%20artificial generative artificial] intelligence business, [https://acidfiles.com/ scam] adding that the biggest companies are the best positioned to monetize advances.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Technology &quot;is a much bigger proportion of the S&amp;P 500 than it is for, say, the Russell 2000,&quot; Burns said. &quot;And even within the tech sector, I think the large caps are still doing better than the smaller cap technology companies on average.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Forrest agrees, saying of &quot;unloved&quot; stocks in her portfolio, that &quot;fundamentally, there's nothing wrong with them, other than they're not Nvidia.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Market participants also note the rising influence of exchange traded funds, or ETFs, which account for some $8 trillion held in US markets.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;These investment vehicles are largely comprised of large cap companies.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Market watchers also see a bias in sentiment towards larger companies, even outside of tech.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;Big banks have gotten bigger,&quot; notes Burns, who sees multiple industries where smaller players &quot;are struggling or just can't keep up.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</div>
